Product Description

This science series turns students’ everyday curiosity into scientific exploration. How does a microwave oven heat food? What causes an ice cream headache? How does sunless tanning work? Can hydrogen power become a reality? These are the types of questions high school students often ask, without considering the scientific implications behind them. Now Real-Life Science looks at these questions, and dozens more like them, to address the scientific principles at work all around us in our everyday lives. Each title in this engaging series - Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science - addresses 25 questions that uncover real-life science applications. The result is an immediate connection between personal experiences and academic material. The 25 topics in each book were chosen by science educators, based on their students’ actual questions. Each title includes a chart indicating which NSE standards each topic addresses. Grades 9-12.
